'Final Test of incredible drama and tension'published at 19:11 British Summer Time 7 August 2021

BBC rugby union correspondentPretoria 2009, now Cape Town 2021.
Agony for the Lions, who couldn’t have given any more, but will rue missed chances in the first half when they had the Boks on the run.
Not a vintage series, but a final Test of incredible drama and tension.

South Africa add a Lions series to their world crown!
Heartbreak for the Lions!

The Lions have the put-in at the scrum...
But the penalty goes to South Africa. That will be that.
Green shirts jump on green shirts. Red shirts drop their heads.

Morne Steyn
The old nemesis steps up again!
Morne Steyn's boot ultimately decided the series 12 years ago, and he's at it again.
The veteran kicks the penalty and we're into the final minute...
This restart has to go short.

The arm goes up and South Africa will have the penalty.
But Herschel Jantjies takes the quick tap and he is off. What is he doing?!
He's brought down, but it's brought back to the initial penalty. The replacement scrum-half didn't tap from the mark.
He is one lucky boy, but the Boks will have the shot at three inside the Lions half.
The clock is ticking...

Finn Russell
I've said it a few times already - but parity is restored!!
Are your nerves jangling at home?
Finn Russell's certainly aren't as he calmly steps up and sinks another three points.
Game on...

Robbie Henshaw comes alive.
He breaks the line in midfield and skips through a couple of flailing arms.
He is eventually hauled down but Lukhanyo Am clatters Conor Murray from the side.
Finn Russell points for the posts.

Penalty to South Africa!
Kyle Sinckler nods his head in disagreement. The green shirts pile in to congratulate their comrades.
The Boks clear their lines, but something tells me the drama is far from over yet...

The scrum collapses, so we'll have another one.
There are lots of voices out there, but the referee's is the only one that counts.
The camera spans to Alun Wyn Jones in the stands. The skipper is wearing a wry smile.

Mako Vunipola is over the line, but he is held up.
There aren't any fans in the ground but the tension is palpable.
Into the final 10 of this thrilling tour...

Eben Etzebeth is not doing his side any favours.
He has just conceded another penalty for a deliberate knock on.
But the Lions opt for the corner rather than the shot at goal.
That is a brave call!

Morne Steyn
You couldn't script it.
The Springboks win a penalty and the veteran stands over the ball.
He smashes it over the sticks and that is exactly why he has been reintroduced to the squad.
His last Test match was five years ago!
Replacementpublished at 65 mins
South Africa 13-13 British and Irish Lions
A blast from the past.
Morne Steyn might now be 37-years-old, but he has just entered the fray to feature in a second British and Irish Lions tour.
He still has plenty of power in that right boot, and he replaces Handre Pollard.

Finn Russell
We're level again!
Eben Etzebeth is punished by Finn Russell after giving away a poor penalty for offside.
Russell slots from just inside the Boks' half and we're all square again.
We can't have another drawn Lions series, can we?!
Marginal call as fortunes changepublished at 18:44 British Summer Time 7 August 2021

Ugo Monye
2009 Lions winger Ugo MonyeThat call was as tight as any on this tour.
South Africa had one try scrapped off the scoresheet in the first Test when the ball bounced forward by inches off Cheslin Kolbe.
Third Test and a different outcome. Fortunes changed. Has the tide turned?
Replacementpublished at 61 mins
South Africa 13-10 British and Irish Lions
Alun Wyn Jones will play no further part as he is replaced by Adam Beard.
The veteran lock bellows out some final instructions to his players.
